Maple Chicken Breasts Food

MAPLE CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once. Coat an indoor grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Liberally baste the chicken with the reduced sauce and serve.

MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Whisk syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and pepper in a small, shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once.
• Coat an indoor grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Liberally baste the chicken with the reduced sauce and serve.

MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the chicken and add the apples, shallots and sage to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook until the chicken is browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue to cook the apples and shallots, stirring, until golden, about 2 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix the chicken broth, maple syrup, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the skillet with the apples and shallots and boil until reduced by about three-quarters, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat, until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

MAPLE BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Dredge chicken in the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a fry pan melt the butter until bubbly. Shake to remove excess flour from the chicken, brown the chicken breasts quickly on both sides. While chicken is browning layer the onion slices in the bottom of a 13x9x2 baking pan, add the 1/2 cup water. Place the chicken atop the onion slices. Pour the maple syup over the chicken. In a pinch bowl combine the savory, thyme and sage, mix together. Sprinkle the spices over the chicken. Bake, uncovered at 350' for 50-60 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, basting chicken occasionally with the pan juices.

APPLE-MAPLE GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 1/2 cups apple cider, corn syrup, maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in medium bowl. Place flour in pie plate, then season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working with one chicken breast at a time, coat chicken with flour, patting off excess.
• Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts skin-side down; cook until well browned and most of fat has rendered from skin, 8 to 14 minutes. (If after 3 minutes you don't hear definite sizzling, increase heat to medium-high. If after 6 minutes chicken is darker than lightly browned, reduce heat slightly.) Turn chicken and lightly brown other side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to plate.
• Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pan. Add shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add orange juice mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup (heatproof spatula should leave slight trail when dragged through glaze), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and tilt to one side so glaze pools in corner of pan. Using tongs, roll each chicken breast in pooled glaze to coat evenly and place skin-side down in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until thickest part of breasts registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes, turning chicken skin-side up halfway through cooking. Transfer chicken to platter and let rest 5 minutes. Return skillet to high heat (be careful-handle will be very hot) and cook glaze, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy (heatproof spatula should leave wide trail when dragged through glaze), about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons apple cider. Spoon 1 teaspoon glaze over each breast and serve, passing remaining glaze at table.

MAPLE AND PEAR CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix mustard, maple syrup, olive oil and tarragon. Add salt and pepper. Brush each slice of pear with a little bit of this mustard mixture. Put 3 slices on a baking sheet, overlapping them slightly. Do the same with the remaining slices. Set aside.
• In a bowl, pour remaining of mustard mixture, add chicken and stir to coat well. In a large non-stick skillet, cook chicken at medium heat 4 to 6 minutes or until golden (flip it at mid-cooking). Put chicken breasts on the bed of sliced pears. Cook in a preheated oven of 350 F for 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is not pink inside.
• Meanwhile, pour chicken stock in the skillet and scrape the bottom with a wood spoon and cook at medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to a third.
• When ready to serve, distribute the bed of pears and chicken breasts in the plates and sprinkle with a little bit of sauce.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MAPLE SOY MARINADE

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• Put the soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in a dish large enough to hold the breasts in one single layer and blend well.
• Add the chicken breast halves, skin side up, and coat them with the marinade; cover and let stand 15 minutes or until ready to cook.
• Arrange the chicken breasts skin side down in one layer on a baking dish.
• Place the chicken under the broiler, not the skin side up and then after 10 minutes, turn over so it is skin side up and cook until done; turning as needed to cook through.
